The hearts of Chicago Bulls fans collectively were broken when all-star point guard Derrick Rose went down in the first game of the 2011-2012 playoffs with a torn ACL.

My personal feeling is that Rose should sit out the entire season. Hopefully, the Bulls would get a lottery pick and then they can start fresh with the 2013-14 season. There is no reason to rush Rose back onto the floor, it wouldn’t be prudent on their part. “I’m not going to let him back [...]
